In just one meeting, the eldest man of the Yuan family died suddenly on the spot, which really frightened Huangfu Xiaoyuan.
Under the gaze of the blood boy who remained silent, Huangfu Xiaoyuan subconsciously took two steps back and accidentally knocked over the furnishings on the side. The considerable movement attracted the attention of the two waiters outside.
"Miss, what happened?"
The two waiters walked in from the door. Seeing the horrific death of the eldest man of the Yuan family, they did not show any panic at all. They just looked at each other in surprise, and then one of them came forward and said, "Miss, please give me my condolences."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly and calmed down. She said, "Go and ask your eldest brother to take care of your grandfather's funeral."
The eldest son of the Yuan family has only one son, Xi Qiu's father, who passed away in his early years. Xi Qiu's generation has four brothers and sisters. Besides her, each has two elder brothers and one younger brother. Although she is also a teacher, He has been a scholar since he was a child, but he has never been an official. He is typically indifferent to what is happening outside the window and only reads books by sages.
"this......"
Unexpectedly, after Huangfu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, the two waiters looked at each other. One of them frowned and stepped back, while the other waited aside with his head lowered.
Probably because the death of the eldest master of the Yuan family was so terrifying, Huangfu Xiaoyuan felt a chill on her back, and she frowned and exited the room.
After a while, a large number of waiters and servants rushed to the courtyard, but the two young masters of the Yuan family did not show up. Instead, Qiu'er led the group of servants.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was puzzled, but she remained calm on her face. As soon as Qiuer arrived, she asked, "Miss, how should I deal with the eldest master's funeral?"
"Shouldn't this matter be left to the two elder brothers?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan frowned.
There was surprise in Qiu'er's eyes, and she said, "But Miss, you are always the one to arrange things at home. The two young masters never take care of anything."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was stunned. She had never received such information. Is Xi Qiu taking care of all the internal affairs of the huge Yuan family?
Seeing her appearance, Qiu'er came forward to hold her arm with concern. At the moment of contact, a strange energy penetrated Huangfu Xiaoyuan's arm into her body.
"what you do!"
Huangfu Xiaoyuan reacted almost instantly, threw away her hand, pushed Qiu'er away, and at the same time took a few steps back to create a safe enough distance.
At this moment, Qiu'er's face returned to that gloomy indifference. She stared at Huangfu Xiaoyuan with cold eyes and said: "You are not a lady, who are you!"
The secret is revealed!
Trying to stay calm, Huangfu Xiaoyuan angrily shouted: "Qiu'er, what are you talking about!"
Seeing this, Qiu'er smiled coldly: "Miss has practiced Xuanyin Kung Fu for many years, and her pure yin body can no longer tolerate even half of yang energy. Just now I tested it with my true energy, and it is clear that yin and yang are in harmony in your body. Tell me quickly, Who are you! What is the purpose of pretending to be a lady!"
Huangfu Xiaoyuan fell into silence, and then she suddenly got up, and her Baguazhang technique landed on Qiu'er's shoulder like a lightning strike, easily knocking her back. Then she passed over the heads of the servants with just a few steps, and jumped out of the small courtyard towards Run away.
Several people quickly supported Qiu'er. She covered her shoulders and said coldly: "You and all of you, all go after her and ask the three young masters to go after her too."
After listening to Qiu'er's words, one of the waiters hesitated and asked: "Is this too risky? If she discovers this..."
"She is already a turtle in a urn and will definitely die tonight."
Qiu'er said, using her energy to calm down the injuries in her body, and while mobilizing her true energy, her face was as pale as paper, and her figure was shaky, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.
Several people looked at her worriedly, but Qiu'er glanced at them coldly and scolded: "Hurry up and go!"
"yes."
The waiters poured out of the small courtyard like a tide, and Qiu'er was left at the end.
Outside, Huangfu Xiaoyuan quickly ran towards the gate as soon as she got out of the courtyard. The outside of the small courtyard was where she had been walking for the past two days. She was supposed to leave Yuan's house on a familiar road, but she was shocked. The garden seemed to have no end. Several times, she seemed to be circling in circles.
Until this moment, Huangfu Xiaoyuan finally remembered why coming here felt so familiar to her. There seemed to be a similar layout in the Ge family's house.
The entire Yuan family's backyard was a huge machine array, and she had fallen into it.
The flowers, trees, pavilions, and everything in the garden were part of the machine formation. Huangfu Xiaoyuan's heart slowly sank, and she could already hear the footsteps getting closer and closer in her ears.
Although she comes from a martial arts family, she has been practicing kung fu since elementary school. She knows nothing about these strange and heretical formations.
If Lu Hanjiang were here, he would probably be able to figure out a way out with his miscellaneous knowledge, but she didn't have the energy to do so. If she wanted to get out now, she would probably have to go on a rampage.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan no longer hesitated. When she circled back to the same intersection for the third time, she decisively gave up moving along the established path and jumped onto the high wall next to her.
Stepping onto the wall, Huangfu Xiaoyuan found that the wall in the garden had become uneven, making it impossible to determine the direction to go out. What was even worse was that when she climbed up the wall, another mechanism seemed to have been triggered, two strings. The rolling log as thick as the mouth of the well flew straight towards her.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan rolled over and dodged. With a few swishes, several more sharpened bamboo sticks came flying towards her. She was accidentally stabbed in the waist. Now she didn't dare to stay on top anymore and jumped up. He came down, only to be surrounded by three or four mechanical wooden figures bouncing up from the floor.
At this time, she should be grateful for the weapons control in the capital city. There are no crossbows or other things in these agencies, so that her situation will not be too bad.
But one after another, the seemingly endless wooden traps made her tired of dealing with them. Huangfu Xiaoyuan quickly guessed the purpose of this trap array, which was just one word, drag.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan could not escape from the large number of wooden traps and various small traps. At this stage, a large number of Yuan family servants had formed a siege from all directions. As soon as she showed signs of fatigue, everyone The group rose up and attacked.
Can't sit still and wait for death - Huangfu Xiaoyuan was looking for traces of Qiu'er in the crowd. According to her intuition, this maid who had something wrong must have a unique status among this group of people. Now, only by capturing her can she possibly This forced the Yuan family to give in.
Unfortunately, Huangfu Xiaoyuan couldn't find any trace of Qiu'er at a glance. When she was distracted, three figures flickered, and one of them scratched her arm with a wooden sword in his hand.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan frowned. She could feel something strange from the wound. If she guessed correctly, there must be poison on the sword.
While forcibly suppressing the poison in his body with his true energy, Huangfu Xiaoyuan glanced at the three people in front of him. The three young masters of the Yuan family had arrived. The three of them had expressionless faces and stared at her with unanimously silent eyes.
It seemed that the end of the road was over. In fact, Huangfu Xiaoyuan was carrying Jinyiwei's trumpet arrow at this time, but she hesitated and did not choose to make a big fuss.
"call."
Breathing out gently, Huangfu Xiaoyuan could feel that the toxins in her body were taking away her physical strength bit by bit. She closed her eyes, relaxed her mind, and no longer resisted it with internal force, but turned from the inside out. , mobilized the true energy in the body, and began to operate in another way.
Purple-black aura emerged on Huangfu Xiaoyuan's neck, and the strange lines continued to spread upwards, turning into twisted lines on the side of her cheeks.
When he opened his eyes again, Huangfu Xiaoyuan's Zuo Tong had turned red due to being contaminated by the blood evil energy, and even half of his sight had sunk into the hellish blood color.
She stood a little below her feet, and her figure was like an arrow. In an instant, she was close to the younger brother of the Yuan family. She snatched the sword from his hand with her hands, and drew a sword gang along the way, and a human head shot up into the sky.
